FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Balenciaga Track Trainers are primarily made from mesh and nylon, which are breathable but not designed to be waterproof. Avoid heavy rain or submerging them in water.
What is the primary material composition of the trainers?
The upper is made from polyurethane, polyester, and nylon. The sole consists of rubber, EVA, and TPU, with a gel insole for comfort.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
These trainers are listed as UK size 8. Balenciaga sizing can sometimes run slightly differently from other brands. It's recommended to consult a Balenciaga size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.
Can I replace the original laces with different ones?
Yes, an additional pair of laces is included for this purpose. You can also purchase third-party laces if you prefer a different color or style, ensuring they match the length and type of the originals.
What does 'leather-free' mean for these trainers?
'Leather-free' indicates that no animal leather was used in the construction of the trainers. They are made from high-quality synthetic materials like polyurethane, polyester, and nylon, engineered for durability and style.
Is the 'washed effect' a flaw or damage?
No, the 'washed effect' is an intentional design element. It provides the trainers with a pre-distressed, worn-in appearance, which is part of their unique aesthetic and not a manufacturing flaw.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone.
Ensure both sets of laces are tied securely. Consider using a double knot for added security. The additional pair of laces can be used if the original laces show signs of wear affecting their knot-holding ability.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Like many new footwear, these trainers may require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials and sole to conform to your foot shape. The gel insole should adapt over time.
The 'washed effect' appears more pronounced than expected.
The washed effect is an intentional design feature to give the trainers a pre-worn, distressed look. This is normal and part of the product's unique aesthetic. It is not a defect.
Material appears dull or dusty.
Gently wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dust and refresh the material. Avoid using polishes or waxes, as they are not suitable for mesh and nylon materials.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adults and are specified as men's UK size 8. While listed for men, their distinctive style often makes them a popular choice across genders for those who appreciate their aesthetic. Ensure you check your usual Balenciaga sizing or consult a size chart for optimal fit.
Care
To maintain the quality and appearance of your Track Trainers:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh and nylon upper with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution, gently scrubbing the affected area, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation or color fading.
- Washed Effect: Remember the 'washed effect' is part of the shoe's intended design. Minor variations in distress are normal and contribute to its unique character.
